Salt Lake City, UT - The Isotopes plated seven runs between the fifth and eighth innings while Connor Van Scoyoc tossed 3.1 innings of one-run ball (unearned) in relief to propel Albuquerque to an 8-2 win over Salt Lake Thursday night at The Ballpark at America First Square.

-Braiden Ward was credited with a steal of home after a pickoff to first base (Zac Veen advanced to second on a stolen base). It's the third time this season an Isotope has swiped home and 13th in team history (others in 2025: Aaron Schunk on April 15 vs. El Paso and July 2 vs. El Paso).
